Attempted robbery: A 50-year-old man was in his stopped vehicle when an unknown armed man sat in the passenger seat and demanded money about 10:50 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of Park and Harrison streets, according to police. The victim unsuccessfully tried to take the robber's gun away, but he couldn't, so the victim got out of the car and ran, according to a report. The victim told police the would-be robber fired shots at him, but that he believed it came from some kind of pellet gun, according to the report.

Attempted carjacking: A 20-year-old man managed to escape a carjacking after a man with a gun walked in front of the victim's vehicle about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Bianchi Road and Hillsboro Way, according to police. While the man with the gun told the victim not to move, four other men opened the car door and assaulted him, but the victim was able to drive away. The gunman is described as an Asian man, 20 to 30 years old, with a mustache, an average build and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black pants. There were no descriptions of the other robbers.

Assault with a deadly weapon: An unknown assailant slashed the arm of a victim who refused to empty his pockets during an attempted robbery about 12:15 a.m. Wednesday in Tobias Park, according to police.
